My two favorite compacts...

[armoredman]

I have the unique opportunity to shoot virtually every flavor of Glock, as we have most of them available for rent. I have to say that oddly enough, the G30 fits and fire better for me than the G26/27. The G19 is the only one that works at all for me. I do know a buddy who carried a G27 in a body armor holster for years without complaint.
   No Glock fits me well; guess I'll just stick with the CZ.

I like CZ75 pistols but I am sure the Glock 19 is the most size efficient service pistol made. I have spent a lot of money on high capacity magazines but no more. Therefore, the G19 gets my nod with 15 rounds vs 10 rounds.

When it comes to Glock Model 26/27 these little pistols are in a class by themselves. Yes, for me, they need a holster but for Stephen A. Camp he carries a Model 26 in his Dockers. My Model 27 will shoot with full sized Glocks and that isn't all bad. If you own a Model 27 you can, with minimum effort, have a 9mm, 357 Sig, and S&W 40.

Thanks DD for the informative comparison. I am presently in a dilema which of the two pistols should I choose for my personal carry. Other things to consider in comparing the two would be the price difference and the manual of arms. I still have to decide so any inputs on this subject would be highly appreciated.

Hey everyone,
Regarding which is better as a CCW....its a matter of personal preference...thats it.  I WILL not slam the glock....I can shoot them as well as anything else when I can use the sights...in practicing tactical point shooting with them..I shoot HIGH...
The grip angle I cant get used too...just me.
As far as Hi Caps being expensive...you are looking at a small fortune either way....Glock LEO Hi Cap mags go for over 100 $
each....but the market seems to be flooded with them, not the case for the compact mags...The compact hi caps with Wolff springs hold 15 rnds and are flush...BTW.  I have 2.

Either way....shoot well

I am glad to see this come up. Everyone is comparing Glocks to everything. I have had many Glocks and liked them. I did not think I had much advantage from my 19 to my 26. Sold the 26 and eventually the 19. I am looking for my 3rd cz. I love these pistols. How was the recoil compared to the 19. The other thing I love about the cz is the single action option. mmm.

thanks

I can throw in my $.02 as the Glock 19 is my duty weapon. I qualified expert with it, and don't mind shooting it at all, but would swap it for my CZ in a heartbeat, if I could get the suits to open thier eyes! I may buy a Glock 19 eventually because I did enjoy it, but there are at least four CZs on the list first. Recoil from the Glock is a little stiffer than the steel framed CZ, but not much as 9mm recoils light anyway. The Glock 40 has noticible recoil, but not the 19.

Deputy Dawg:  Funny you should post this thread.  I just finished posting on the Makarov Forum at makarov.com about my two favorite compacts: the CZ PCR and the HS2000/Springfield XD (often compared to the similar-sized Glock 19).

Here's a picture comparison:





Take care.  Marko

How about a pic from the rear of the guns for thickness comparison?

Thanks

FWIW  -  The HS does not strike me as a compact gun.  I would love to see the side by side also.  

Now for the Glocks, I have owned three Glocks and am at present Glock-less.  I sold my wife's 19 because she was not shooting it very much and I got into a three way deal with my brother-in-law to help him get a 45 Colt Officer's Model.  My 23 never shot as well as the 19.  LEO's who shot it found that it was not hitting at POA.  Neither was it as accurate for them as the 19.  The 21 is just a huge gun to carry.  Great for duty weapon, but a real bear for CCW.  That's my opinion.

Im having difficulty shopping for a holster on-line for a cz75 compact. However, the catalogs available are filled with a variety of models for glocks. Considering that a g19 is somewhat similar to a cz75 compact in frame, would a cz75 compact fit in a holster made for a g19?
Would it be possible that I would just simply order a holster made for a g19 to be used for a cz75 compact?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated specially from those who both have a g19 and a cz75 compact.

Can anybody comment on cz75pcr vs. sig228 or sig2009?

[armoredman]

Some G19 rigs will fit the PCR/Compact pretty well, but check out High Noon Holsters for stuff made just for your gun.
   If you want one of the G19 holsters, hand check it first.

Most good holster makers use a sizing #  2,4,6 etc....my compact and my 3953 both take a size 10.  Just about any holster that is that size will fit the best.  My 3953 and Compact fit the Bianchi # 10 like a glove...try it.
Shoot well
